Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Baildon?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Baildon follows the English householder rules.
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Baildon like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Baildon. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

Two-storey rear extension questions in Baildon
Can you match the brick or stone on my Baildon house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
What is the 45-degree rule?
Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.
